Plenty of copies to be found of Chanel, Prada, Armani etc delightful little coffee shops and cafes with orange robed monks sitting in passing the time. Outside the food places selling such delights as fish head soup which we are encouraged to try ...

Good For Little Items.

Central Market wasn't as big as I thought it would be but it still offers you a wide range of items.

It is situated right next to Chinatown and this time the goods they sold looked real! It had only one main street with again lovely home nic nacs, food and ice drinks available.

Central Market - The Big Blue Color Building

thasegashira2 contributionsBandung, IndonesiaMar 22, 2012

Was built in 1888. Here, you can find many special and unique Malaysian souvenirs from key chain, Petronas and others Malaysian Landmark miniatures, Beryl's chocolate, T-shirt, handicraft and much much more. All prices are fixed, no more bargaining needed. No crowd, no sweat, no pickpocket, it's very secure and fully air-con! You can shop in peace!

Kuala Lampur is bumpin.....so many people and so diverse! We went to a rooftop bar to people watch and every table was so eclectic. We even ate at an Irish pub! They even have a Times Square mall with a "central park" but definitely didn't feel like NYC. Spent the entire day walking...went to the national mosque and Islamic cultural museum. Also …

Sitting down to our last breakfast banquet I took my fill of various delights, mainly Indian and tried to exercise some moderation. Once we were groaning full we headed up to our room to pack and I got that feeling that all was not well. I will spare the details but my breakfast came up and out and I felt quite unwell for the rest of the day. …

We arrived in Kuala Lumpur excited to be in a different country and to explore something new and eat a different variety of foods. We stayed in an amazing hotel called the "Aloft", which was located in KL sentral, close to all the rail lines (which we used to get everywhere). The hotel had just opened about 8 months ago in the same area as some of …

We arrived at my final destination (Emma continued without me..sob.. to Thailand for an extra 2 weeks) - the wonderful Kuala Lumpur. Navigated the subway fairly easily and arrived at Masjid Jamek, the closest stop to our home for the next few days. Our hotel, Hotel 1915, was in a perfect location - handy for Chinatown, Little India and the City …

We booked a "Fireflies tour" for our second evening in KL - we had heard they were magical to see and worth a visit! The tour began at 3.30pm with a pick-up from our hotel, so we headed back to Jalan Petaling to pick up the things that had caught our eye on the previous excursion and to Central Market. We left for Kuala Selangor, about an hour from …

Arrived in KL excited and ready to explore the city... taxi to hotel was only 10 mins drive from central train station; KL is a long way from the airport - shuttle trains are easy to get & leave every 20 mins. Day 1 - explored KL highlight being the Petronas Towers which we wanted to see at night so spent the day wandering round markets and …

We took our time getting to breakfast this morning which is on level 22 this morning in the skylouge. It is another buffet breakfast, however it doesn't have the spread of the Park Royal breakfast. There was enough variety to keep us going and we fueled up for the day.

We decided to complete the hop on hop off bus tour to get to the bird …

We had a busy 4 days in KL! We decided to book a hotel online this time, so we wouldn't have the hassle of walking around with our backpacks in the big city. The bus dropped us off in Chinatown where our hotel was, but Chinatown is big and it took us an hour to find the hotel - the locals pointed us in several different directions and we were going …

This morning we slept in (9am is a sleep in) and took our time getting ready and heading for breakfast. Today we were going to give the KL Hop On Hop Off bus ago, it's a double decker bus that travels around the city and stops at 22 different tourist hot spots. It is about $12 a ticket which lasts for 24hrs, you hop on at one of the 22 stops and …

After a sweet 10.5 hour plane ride (actually 45 min early too), arrived in K.L at 10:00pm on Tues 28 Feb. Hanim and her mum picked us up from the airport and came back to Hanim's condo. Super shattered, so chatted for a bit and got to sleep at midnight. You sleep with Air Con overnight as humidity is extreme. Up at 6:45am! Ben had a cold shower ( …
